US Judge Blocks Deportation Of Indian Student In Wisconsin

In today's episode of India Global, In a stunning turn, an Indian student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has halted the Trump administration's visa crackdown; at least for now. 21-year-old Krish Isserdasani, weeks away from earning his engineering degree, suddenly found his student visa revoked without warning, without due process. His SEVIS record, gone. His future, thrown into chaos. But on April 15th, Federal Judge William Conley said enough. He blocked Homeland Security from canceling Krish's visa, calling the government's actions legally shaky; and potentially unjust. "These students did nothing wrong," said attorney Shabnam Lotfi. "They followed every rule — this is political, not lawful." This case isn't isolated. Across 29 states, international students are quietly losing their legal status — some over minor incidents, others without explanation at all. According to the latest stats, over 4,000 international students are being subject to visa revocations across the U.S. Krish's alleged offense? A scuffle after leaving a bar — no charges filed. No conviction. Yet he was nearly deported. With a new hearing set for April 28th, this fight is far from over; but now, one student's stand may be the start of a nationwide reckoning. NDTV's Gaurie Dwivedi speaks with Executive Director of North American Association of Indian Students (NAAIS) Sudhanshu Kaushik to discuss this and more.
